Sylmar District, California

oleh travelnews site (2019-07-26)


Overview 

It all started with four young olive saplings carried from Spain and planted by a Spanish priest in the 1830s. Before long, Sylmar was the home of the largest olive groves in the world, and the brand Sylmar olives became synonymous with sweetness and purity. In fact, olives inspired the name Sylmar or silver sea, which is what a thousand acres of olive trees looked like when viewed from the nearby mountains. Sylmar was severely tested by the two events in 1971, a major earthquake and the worst underground disaster in the history of California. This district of Los Angeles survived, however, and has emerged as a vibrant multicultural community of almost 90,000 people. 

Tourist Attractions 

The Animal Planet, Discovery Channel and Jay Leno too all like The Animal Guys. This Sylmar-based program has appeared many times on TV for its mission—to bring the zoo to the people. The khaki-clad biologists present Boomer the lynx, Lola the sloth, Einstein the owl, and other exotic animals to young and old audiences. The day ends when the Animal Guys wipe the children's hands and send them off clean and happy. Golden Girl Betty White raises funds for the Wildlife WayStation. This animal refuge never turns away a wild or exotic animal in distress, and has taken care of more than 75,000 animals since it was founded in 1976. 

Accommodation Tips 

If you want a clean, safe and very affordable room, the Motel 6 Sylmar is a good choice. It is a discount motel so do not expect expensive Egyptian cotton sheets. The Hampton Inn Los Angeles-Santa Clarita is a good standard hotel with the added features that business travelers and other guests have come to expect: a free hot breakfast, free Wi-Fi, fitness and business centers, and easy access to local attractions. Santa Clarita Motel provides basically the same quality of services and accommodations. Sylmar District Hotels with Reservations.com. 

Things to Do 

Experience a blast from the past. Visit the ruins of wells which were built by Tongva Indians around 1800 and kept the old San Fernando Rey de Espana mission amply supplied with water. Launch your very own Witch Blair Project at the San Fernando Pioneer Memorial Cemetery where a scene from the film Plan 9 from Outer Space, was filmed. If a cemetery is not your cup of tea, get your thrills from a game of golf at the Cascades Golf Club or El Cariso Golf Course. 

Restaurants and Dining 

The SYLMAR-tini is Sylmar's unique contribution to California's long list of good, so-so and horrible mixed drinks. Your choice of liquor is mixed with fruit punch, flavored with hard lemon candy, and decorated with ebony grapes. The martini was created for a Halloween party held at a park that was once a cemetery. California cuisine relies on the freshness and quality of its ingredients. That's why local farmers markets have achieved near-cult status in the state that is the world's largest producer of fresh fruits and vegetables. Sylmar Certified Farmers Market is probably one of the best in San Fernando Valley, and is open the whole year. Farmers come from as far away as Fresno, Oxnard and Sta. Maria to bring people really outstanding produce and delicious samples of Mexican, Indian, Thai, Japanese and other, rapidly emerging international cuisines.
